ABSTRACT

Introduction: Meigs syndrome consists of the association of a benign tumor of the ovary "fibroma type" with ascites and hydrothorax, which resolve after the tumor is removed. The pseudo-Meigs syndrome secondary to uterine leiomyoma is a rare entity.
Case report: A 68-year-old woman refered having a month with a sensation of chest tightness and dyspnea. Chest X-ray revealed right pleural effusion. Computed axial tomography of the abdomen and pelvic region shows ascites and a large subserous uterine myoma. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy.
Conclusions: Ascites and pleural effusion disappeared rapidly in the postoperative period. After 20 months of follow-up, there is no recurrence.
